Collaborative VBS Projects

The VBS participants of all ages were excited

 and amazed to see what happens

 when a group of individuals works together.

The mosaic of Jesus Walking on the Water 

began with a pencil drawing on a foam board. 

Colorful magazine pages were torn

 and matched with the corresponding spaces 

on the drawing.

 As more pieces were added the mosaic

 started to take shape,

 until finally, everyone could see Jesus -

walking on the water!

Cave Quest VBS

at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, 

Springfield VA.

Lots of young children.

Craft time with multi-age participants,

An Innovative and inexpensive 

approach to "craft-time",

and a move away from "kit".

Torn magazines sorted by color 

to make large Collaborative art projects.

The art graced the narthex as it was completed

and then were used as Visual Faith Art

 for the closing worship service.

 The Cross Collaborative was created 
with about 130 individual
 crosses carefully designed by each child. 
 Large craft sticks were used.

 Students could make one to take home
 and one to add to the group art.

When the students saw the finished projects

 they had helped to create- 

they were delighted and surprised. 

All one together- 
united by the cross of Jesus.

Great Job- 

Bonnie Hughes and Joen Schultz-Art Directors

 and helping staff.

CAVE QUEST complete.

With one heart and voice.
